Architectural Patterns for Big Data on AWS

With an ever-increasing set of technologies to process big data, organisations often struggle to understand how to build scalable and cost-effective big data applications. This webinar will help you choose the right technology to support each stage based on key criteria including data structure, design patterns and best practices.

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your code in response to triggers and automatically manages the compute resources for you.

This webinar will familiarise you with the basics of using AWS Lambda to do real-time stream processing with data from AWS IoT. We will discuss how you can leverage AWS IoT to receive data and send commands to IoT devices in real-time. You will learn how to trigger AWS Lambda functions to process inbound data from your IoT devices. You will also learn how to use Lambda to connect with Amazon Kinesis Firehose to load streaming data into Amazon S3 and Amazon Redshift.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand key AWS IoT and AWS Lambda features
• Learn how to set up AWS IoT and do real-time processing with AWS Lambda
• Explore sample use cases, best practices and tips on using AWS Lambda with AWS IoT

Who Should Attend:
• IT Managers, Developers, Engineers, Solution Architects

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices. As an IoT developer, you will need to interact with AWS services like Amazon Kinesis, AWS Lambda, and Amazon Machine Learning to get the most from your IoT application.

In this session, we will do a deep dive on how to define rules in the Rules Engine, or retrieve the last known and desired state of device using Device Shadows, routing data from devices to AWS services to leverage the entire cloud for your Internet of Things application.

Who Should Attend:
• IT Managers, Developers, Engineers, Solution Architects

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices.

This webinar will introduce the best practices for IoT Security in the cloud and the access control mechanisms used by AWS IoT. These mechanisms can be used to not only securely build and provision devices, but also to integrate devices with other AWS services. This allows you to build interesting, meaningful applications while owning little to no infrastructure.

AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that lets connected devices easily and securely interact with cloud applications and other devices.

In this webinar, we will discuss how constrained devices can leverage AWS IoT to send data to the cloud and receive commands back to the device from the cloud using the protocol of their choice. We will discuss how devices can securely connect using MQTT and HTTP protocols, and how developers and businesses can leverage features of AWS IoT like Device Shadows, a JSON document used to store and retrieve current state information for device, app and so on, and Rules Engine, which provides message processing and integration with other AWS services, to build a real connected product.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what AWS IoT is and an introduction to the Internet of Things
• Understand connecting a device with a live example
• Understand using the Device Gateway, Rules Engine, Registry, Device Shadows

Who Should Attend:
• IT Managers, Developers, Engineers, Solution Architects

This webinar will provide an overview of the AWS High Performance Computing (HPC) tool CfnCluster. We will cover the basics of what CfnCluster is and how it can help with the migration of traditional HPC applications to the cloud. The webinar will also provide guidance on how to install and configure CfnCluster in a way that will allow you to scale to thousands of cores in just a few minutes on AWS.

Analysing big data quickly and efficiently requires a data warehouse optimised to handle and scale for large datasets. Amazon Redshift is a fast, petabyte-scale data warehouse that makes it simple and cost-effective to analyse big data for a fraction of the cost of traditional data warehouses. By following a few best practices, you can take advantage of Amazon Redshift’s columnar technology and parallel processing capabilities to minimize I/O and deliver high throughput and query performance. This webinar will cover techniques to load data efficiently, design optimal schemas and tune query and database performance.

Building big data applications often requires integrating a broad set of technologies to store, process, and analyze the increasing variety, velocity, and volume of data being collected by many organisations.

Using a combination of Amazon EMR, a managed Hadoop framework and Amazon Redshift, a managed petabyte-scale data warehouse, organisations can effectively address many of these requirements.

In this webinar, we will show how organisations are using Amazon EMR and Amazon Redshift to build more agile and scalable architectures for big data. We will look into how you can leverage Spark and Presto running on Amazon EMR, to address multiple data processing requirements. We will also share best practices and common use cases to integrate Amazon EMR and Amazon Redshift.

Learning Objectives:
• Best practices for building a big data architecture that includes Amazon EMR and Amazon Redshift
• Understand how to use technologies such Amazon EMR, Presto and Spark to complement your data warehousing environment
• Learn key use cases for Amazon EMR and Amazon Redshift

The threat landscape is constantly changing and bad actors are making concerted efforts to exploit vulnerabilities to compromise cloud environments. Effectively managing vulnerabilities in the cloud can be challenging; traditional security tools are not built to enable you to fully exploit the agility and cost reduction benefits that the cloud offers.
The dynamic and flexible nature of AWS workloads can make it difficult, or impossible, for legacy tools to effectively identify exposures in your cloud environments. In this session, you will learn how Alert Logic Cloud Insight enables you to dramatically improve the way in which you identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations for the applications you are running on AWS. By delivering deep insight into your AWS environment, enabling you to perform intelligent remediation, and providing continuous protection, Cloud Insight reduces your time and costs associated with vulnerability and configuration management.
Key takeaways:
•What techniques you can ditch when it comes to finding vulnerabilities
•How remediating vulnerabilities in the cloud will be faster
•How the cloud makes it easier to visualize your environment
